Aida Verdi

2023年4月5日（水）~21（金）新国立劇場で上演するジュゼッペ・ヴェルディ「アイーダ」（フランコ・ゼッフィレッリ演出）ダイジェスト映像です（2013年公演より）公演詳細https://www.nntt.jac.go.jp/opera/aida/新国立劇場オペラサイトhttps://www.nntt.jac.g...

The great festive opera of Aida is being performed as a celebration performance for the New National Theatre Tokyo's 25th Anniversary. Franco ZEFFIRELLI's resplendent production, premiered in 1998 to commemorate the opening of the theatre, involves a dynamic stage transformation. The scene of the Triumphal March is a grand aural and visual spectacle with hundreds of performers on stage. This production is a must-see for everyone, whether you are an opera fan or not.

Aida is the major work of Verdi's later life and was revealed at the Opera House in Caro which was built to commemorate the completion of the Suez Canal. A month later it achieved success at the Teatro alla Scala with a string of forty encores, and has been one of the most popular operatic repertoires across the globe.

The story, set in ancient Egypt, is of the devoted love between the military commander, Radamès, and Aida, the queen of Egypt's enemy, Ethiopia. There is a glorious succession of famous songs such as Radamès' aria "Celeste Aida", and Aida's "Ritorna Vincitor" and "Marcia trionfale" ("Triumphal March"). In the second half of the opera, the plot describes protagonists' dilemmas; father and lover, love and patriotism, longing and jealousy...etc,. The music in the duet between Radamès and Aida, "La fatal pietra sovra me si chiuse" in the final scene expresses with reverberating purity the sublimation of the couple's love.

Noted soprano Serena FARNOCCHIA takes on the title role, with Roberto ARONICA, one of the world's best tenors, as Radames. The role of Amneris is performed by Judit KUTASI, a Verdian mezzo-soprano taking European theatres by storm with her deep, dark voice. Veteran baritone Franco VASSALLO, active throughout Europe with Verdi repertoires appears as Amonasro. Verdi expert Carlo RIZZI leads these ideal cast, orchestra and chorus in a return performance for which expectations are high.

新国立劇場開場25周年を記念し、祝祭的大作『アイーダ』を上演します。1998年に開場記念公演として制作されたゼッフィレッリの豪華絢爛な演出には、新国立劇場ならではのダイナミックな舞台転換が盛り込まれます。歌手、合唱、バレエ、助演が織りなす"凱旋の場"は音と視覚の大スペクタクル。オペラファンならずとも、一度は観てみたい舞台です。
『アイーダ』はヴェルディ後期の大作で、スエズ運河開通を記念し建設されたカイロ歌劇場で初演されました。1ヵ月後のスカラ座公演ではアンコールが 40回も続く成功を収め、その後も世界の歌劇場で高い人気を誇っています。
物語は、古代エジプトの戦士ラダメスと、敵国エチオピアの王女アイーダの一途な愛を描きます。ラダメスのアリア「清きアイーダ」や、アイーダの「勝ちて帰れ」、「凱旋行進曲」と輝かしい名曲が続き、後半では恋人たちの愛、父娘の想い、誇り、嫉妬など心理的葛藤が描かれます。最終場のアイーダとラダメスの二重唱「運命の岩がとざされた」では、二人の愛が昇華する清らかな音楽が響きます。
タイトルロールには名ソプラノのセレーナ・ファルノッキア、ラダメスには世界最高峰のテノール、ロベルト・アロニカが出演。アムネリスにはベルリン・ドイツ・オペラを中心に欧米の歌劇場で躍進中のアイリーン・ロバーツと、望みうる最高のキャストが揃います。指揮には特にヴェルディを得意とする名匠カルロ・リッツィが待望の再登場です。
